Abstract

The problem of money laundering is not only related law enforcement issues, but is also directly related and has an impact on the national financial and economic problems, including the national investment issues. The formulation of the problem raised is whether the punishment in Law Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering has reflected the principle of cost and benefit principal? This is a normative legal research through literature study (legal approach) and the study of theories, views, or doctrines in legal science in order to provide concepts, which will then be presented descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the criminal offense of money laundering in Law no. 8 of 2010 has not fully reflected the principle of economic analysis of law, namely the cost and benefit principle, so it tends to create inefficient penalties. Therefore, the recommendation in this study is to optimize the achievement of proportional punishment for money laundering, so that it is more efficient in preventing and eradicating the crime of money laundering.
